Neocon,

You said that very well and I'm sure it went over a lot of heads.

It should be added though that salvation does not exclude earthly justice.

What is a prayer? Is it only when we say prayer or is it how we live our lives and what we do. Well actions speak louder than words to the Lord. That is what I believe. So Rev. Falwel's comments on the prayer's of those he mentioned would seem also to be part of the blame. The pastor said the lack people praying and living a good life as their prayer what the fault. Well then is not the prayer's of life of those cited by Rev Farwell added to the balance. If not doing enough good was to blame, then doing evil is the anti or negative prayer.

I think both rev. dudes had there head up their butts equally.

The Pope called terrorism a wicked plague. It is clear to me the evil in the hearts of the those men of Sept 11th is a sickness that can only be cured by sending them to judgement by God.

The basic religious points of Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell was identical in the core values to Rev. Farwell's. That of course is if one believes how one actually lives ones life is the real prayer that God is interested in. I do believe that the Sept 11 dudes spent far more time saying words to God than most of the folks spoke of by Rev. Farwell and most who go to church weekly in this country. But who acted as if they listened to God.

>>The basic religious point is valid, and preferable to the tenor of Falwell's observations, but the timing is execrable.<<

I guess what I found curious is the implicit assumption that the average American should have known enough of B.L. to realize that he should be a focus of their prayers, unless the pastor's point was that we should have been praying in a more generalized sense for terrorist-inclined folks, or for all the sinners of the world.
